You are wearing a pair of cargo pants with six pockets. You've put $10 in one of the pockets, but you cannot remember which one.

After checking two pockets without success, what is the probability that the money will be in the next pocket you check?

There are 6 pockets all together.  You checked two of them and it wasn't
there.  So you can forget about those 2, and now there are 4 pockets left.

The total number of ways for your next try is 4.
The number that will be successful is 1.

The probability of success on the next one is  <em>1/4  =  25% .</em>

=======================================================

Another method of solution, somewhat more complex:

Total number of pockets = 6.
Amount of money missing = $10
First partial sum, i.e. sum of numbers
 in the first part of the problem = 6 + 10  =  16.

Total number of pockets  =  6
Current value of cargo pants on a fashion scale from 1 to 10  =  -2.
Second partial sum =  6 - 2  =  4.

  Probability = (second partial sum) / (first partial sum) = 4/16  =  <em>25% </em>.

Explain why a change from 20 to 40 is a 100% increase, but a change from 40 to 20 is a 50% decrease. Increasing 20 to 40 is the
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

To find increase/decrease, divide the starting number by the ending number.

<u>40 to 20</u>

20 ÷ 40 = 0.5

0.5 can be represented by 50%.

<u>20 to 40</u>

40 ÷ 20 = 2

2 can be represented by 200%. This is why decreasing 40 to 20 is a 200% increase. In the wording, it says it's a 100% increase. That would be 20 plus 20 times 1 (which is the same as 100%) which is 40.
